Stock Car Racing and Country Music—two pillars of culture in the Southern United States. And the two have mingled throughout the years. So put on your racing shoes, make sure they match your cowboy hat, and settle in for a look back at some of Nascar’s biggest stars turned Nashville wannabes!
The Song: Butterbeans by unknown
The Star: Buddy Baker
The Clip:
The Review: In Nascar RaceHub’s fantastic look back at this album the four surviving driver/singers all agreed that Buddy was the only one with any talent. I would have to agree with them after listening to this light-hearted food song. I could totally see Buddy as an opening act for an opening act at a state fair. And he sings the word “pregnant”—scandalous!
The Verdict: The best of the rest—yes, faint praise, but still!
